Add Abbot to your nostr public chat channel.

The NIP-28 spec doesn't mention "adding" someone to a chat. I think a user must opt into a public chat channel by simply creating a note of 42 - channel message and broadcasting it. Browsing and joining public chat channels or adding someone to a public chat channel would be something a client would implement (i.e. a frontend to show users the list of chats, buttons for joining or adding someone and leaving). Looking at nostrchat.io, you can see when you click the + sign next to Channels, it shows "create" and "join" but no "add."

I created an ATL BitLab public chat channel to see if the chat channel interface has an "add" button, but it doesn't
.

Solution

• Add nostr buttons to atlbitlab.com/abbot
• DM button will open nostrchat.io/dm/<abbot_npub>
• Channel Add button shows an input box and ask them to input the channel id (e.g. 3cc312d9cd7e45bbd254dd541caf7bb24b45becd6b22435ef616ea3047ffbe2a)
  - on submit, we make a request to the telegram API (see API crossplatform POC #3) and put a command in the text (e.g. /nchannel 3cc312d9cd7e45bbd254dd541caf7bb24b45becd6b22435ef616ea3047ffbe2a)
  - on the backend, code logic to handle this command and parse the channel id arg
  - construct a note kind 40 or 42 (need to figure this out), sign with Abbot seckey and send to Relay-Abbot (see API crossplatform POC #3) to broadcast to relays

The nostr code for this issue will be complete in #6
This issue should handle the frontend changes and the requests
